My 50 inch 1080p is broke and wont be fixed for two days noooooo!!!!
i have to make due with my 32inch sqaure thing for two days!!!!! why oh why does everything bad happen to me! has the universe ruined anyone else's life recently!

I love technology, I love learning about new technology and keeping up on the news. But I don't like watching TV or any other medium that pushes products on me. As a result, I have 10 year old car, a 7 year old 32" tube TV, and a 4 year old phone. The only new things I have are my PC which I assembled about a year or 2 ago now, and the ever increasing supply of hard drives I need.

Besides all of that, I'm very happy, and I never feel a need to "keep up with the johnsons" in regards to the tech I own.

to clarify this did happen no im not upset about it it is "big deal" right anyway the thought came to me to post this as i am american and i figured others could have a reality check by sharing their "tough luck" situations.

State school for me, but a loan for 50k will pay for approximately less than one year at U chicago. So money being what it is, paying .25M to go to school for 4 years (one way or another since financial aid was ~8k X 4 years = ~.2M) is a little bit not plausible.

Even satire has a base of truth in it. Here is an example of someone who had the money to buy a TV, he/she saved up or more probably loaned, so he/she could buy aforementioned TV.

And actually feels that all of the luck in the world was against him/her when the TV broke. Yeah everyone is out of luck.

Heck I just had to chop up a piece of chipset cooling because my ﾀ100 soundcard wasn't going to fit in my 120 euro motherboard, because that thing was in my way. And in the only spot it would fit, it would block the fan of my ﾀ350 vidcard.
I was thinking OMG this could only happen to me!

No this post reflects the state of mind the topic starter was in. OMG it could only happen to me! (?)

32 inch, got it for $0, $5 for the guy to drive it over. Weighs a ton, CRT.
Not even a real television, just a monitor, no channel functions etc.
